  Hi all. It’s Jerry from the interview talking about infosec.exchange. I think it’s important to understand some apparently missing context in the discussions below. I was talking about a hypothetical future where we saw tens/hundreds of millions of active accounts on the fediverse. I don’t believe the current funding model can support that, and I also don’t think the “spin up your own host” model will work for the masses, either.

  I host close to two dozen different fediverse services, from lemmy to mastodon to mbin to peertube and lots more, and all that takes some significant hardware to run at larger scales. My objective has been to provide a fast and reliable fediverse experience, and so I’ve focused more on that than on making my servers scream, and so I’ve landed on hosting the fleet on a series of Hetzner Dell servers with 10GB interfaces, and that is not cheap.

  I am not sure if the “he” reference is me, but I did ask and people did step up to support the costs of running the instance.

  Hey all, Jerry here (from the interview). Happy to answer any questions.

  Yes, that’s correct

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fair warning about vote manipulation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have messaged them directly. At least the ones I am aware of. This is a warning to others that I may not be aware of or people who decide to try it in the future.

  Thanks for bringing this up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing old.infosec.pub⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apologies. It should be fixed and stay fixed now. Docker gets about 37 updates per week and for some reason that particular container won’t restart on its own, so I’ve created a script to restart it automatically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing old.infosec.pub⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I’ve added to my list to fix

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community creation question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ok. I set up threativore and added you as a moderator. I doubt it’s as sophisticated as what reddit had to offer. The instructions are here: github.com/db0/threativore/…/README_manual.md

  Lemmy’s admin tooling is… basic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community creation question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to clarify - post with your moderator account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community creation question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. Can you make a post in that community? It’s the only way I know of to make someone a moderator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community creation question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a plan. Just let me know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community creation question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I can tell, @SqueamishOssifrage hasn’t logged in to the site for about 2 years, and to be honest, I’d rather have a the community moderated, so if you want, I’ll add you as a moderator.

  I am guessing the operator of the bot thought it ok because it was posting mostly(?) in channels that it created and was moderator of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infosec.pub downtime⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I banned it.
